Has anyone ever played any of the Agarest War games? The... graphics look nice, but how is the actual game play? If it's good, should I start a particular game or should I just get whichever is the latest one?

Are all the stories connected? In other words, will there be references to one game from another or do you need to play one game to understand the other? Is there some kind of bundle pack to get them all?

Agarest Zero takes place 1000 years before Agarest and I can't tell you much about Agarest 2 since I haven't played it. All I know is that it's a sequel taking place an unspecified amount of time later.

Since I've only played the first, I have no idea whether prior knowledge is needed before playing Zero or 2.

Well, right now, along with Blazblue, I'm playing Warriors Orochi 3, which is also Japanese voices with English text. Now, unless it's a complete H-game, I really prefer English voices (because I don't think most English voice actors would do hentai, unless they are "specialists"). And yes, there are M-rated JRPGs with English voices, such as Ar Tonelico Qoga, which I naturally have.

Because Agarest seems to be Japanese voices only, I met also consider the Neptunia series for my next RPG (for some reason, the new one is M-rated, while the first one was only T-rated, huh? Although it does seem to have English dub). Still, I won't make any orders until I complete all the arcade endings in BB, so feel free to convince me one way or another in the meantime.

Well, unlike Agarest, Neptunia does have English voices, correct? And for some reason, the rating increased from T to M within 1 game's time, correct? And how do I know? Are we not all sworn brothers and sisters bound by this wonderful site (among others) of Len's?

? Didn't I already say that in a previous post? That's not mind reading; it's post reading. My favorite character is Soma. I tend to like that character type. Long black hair, white sundress with a ribbon, bare feet, flat chest, can probably kill me masterfully... Check my signature for another character.

I meant the combo of things that we both played. Also, didn't I mention something about Soma being similar to Nanaya and White Len? ... Why are we talking abot this? I thought this was supposed to be about Agarest and/or Neptunia.

Basically, I have to do the same thing that I did for the Warrior Orochi series, when I wanted to get Warriors Orochi 2. Basically, buy Warriors Orochi 1 cheaply, just play through to get caught up on 2. So I need to do that either buy Neptunia 1 OR the first two Agarest Wars (1 and 0) cheaply and play through them to get caught up on Neptunia 2 OR Agarest 2. I'm leaning toward Neptunia because of English voices, but are you planning on convincing me otherwise?

Neptunia 2 is on the PSN, but Neptunia 1 is not, huh? I'll have to try to get elsewhere. All right. Amazon is it new in both standard and premium edition... Is the premium edition worth the triple digit number?
